are you on stock heads? ls6 intake? i hate to tell you but thats probably too much cam for your set up. that is unless you plan on heads and a ported 92/92.

don't get me wrong it does sound sick but if u did a good head intake set up on it you would really unlock that cam's potential!

Last I remember is that the trex was designed to work with the stock head port volume.

I think what he's saying is it's not too much cam, although it's big cam. If you support what you have it's not a big deal.

We got ours brand new for $849.00 with a tb. I don't think it is over rated. It picked our car up 27 rwhp. Sorry I thought it was 30. How much gas did it have or how big was the turbo/charger. So your saying a cam only unported heads and unported in take went 10's with no other power adders?? I think some detailss are being left out some where.
